Access control and how it is changing construction

Biometric authentication, AI integration, cloud-based access systems and automation are shaping the construction industry by improving safety, streamlining processes and aligning with the increasing push for sustainability. These systems, which include fingerprint scanners, facial recognition and retina scans, are particularly transforming access control on construction sites, but unlike traditional keys or swipe cards that can be misplaced or duplicated, they provide instead a personalised and foolproof method of identifying individuals – and it is changing the face of construction - writes John Ridgeway.

They are bringing enhanced security, ensuring that only authorised personnel can access restricted areas and are helping to reduce theft and trespass incidents. Biometric systems that can log workers' entry and exit times, are providing accurate records for payroll and compliance and because they ensure workers can only be granted access to specific areas based on their role, they are also delivering better safety protocols.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in particular have become powerful tools in access control. These technologies provide real-time data analysis, helping construction sites identify potential threats and inefficiencies. Machine learning algorithms monitor entry patterns to flag suspicious activity and AI-powered cameras detect unauthorised personnel or unusual movements, alerting security teams instantly. These systems can also predict when equipment, such as gates or locks, might fail, preventing costly delays. Click link to read more:
